Created for the 2020-2021 school year, Connecting Kids is a Nevada public-private partnership that ensures all students across the state have equal access to virtual learning tools. Supported through C2C and CARES, Cox was a key partner in this coalition, providing enhanced C2C offerings and a Cox Field Operations team to lend support.
The results were undeniable. Nevada became one of the first states in the nation with confirmed connectivity for every student learning online. With the help of partners like Cox, the coalition has ensured that 100% of public school students digitally learning have access to reliable internet and a computer device in 15 of the state’s 17 county school districts.
PCs for People
PCs for People
PCs for People, a Cox Connect2Compete partner since 2020, is led by ideals that go hand-in-hand with the C2C mission, their organization is dedicated to providing high-quality, refurbished computers for low-income families.
During the height of the pandemic in 2020 when digital connectivity was needed more than ever, Cox expanded its partnership with PCs for People by providing a $100,000 grant from the James M. Cox Foundation. This expansion helped deliver discounted computer equipment to 1,000 qualifying households across Cox’s nationwide footprint.
“Cox is committed to supporting K-12 students in our Connect2Compete program, whether they are learning inside the classroom or in their homes during this pandemic. We’re proud to provide these computers to 1,000 kids and look forward to partnering with our communities to ensure more kids have access to their digital schoolwork.” – Pat Esser, president and CEO of Cox Communications
